While away at college, I did not have room for half of my clothes and was forced to pick and choose what to take and what to leave behind at home. Since moving home and having my closet re-united (at last!), I have discovered so many pieces I had completely forgotten I had. Case in point, this little dress purchased from forever21 over 2 years ago. I found it crammed in the back of my closet at home with the tags still on it and It has quickly become an oldie but goodie. I won't lie...I wore it twice this weekend! 

Romp-tastic in a New Locale

Shoes: These are Report but my sister has THESE from American Eagle and they are similar 

 Growing up, my grandparents had the coolest yard. My cousins and I spent hours playing outdoors in our many secret forts, swimming in the pool, and playing tag on the spacious lawn. My Nana, an avid gardener, created a secret garden ambiance with a plethora of flowers and fairy lights that made many summer evenings unforgettable. But as all things go, over the years things changed. Cousins grew up, moved away and had kids of their own and the summer days spent all day outside at Nana and Papas became a thing of the past. I had forgotten how amazing the yard was until I visited yesterday and roamed the yard with my sister, enjoying the breathtaking view and flowers and laughing over memories from the past. I think I know where I will be spending my lazy summer days:]

 I live in a small town with little to no shopping. When I want to go on a little shopping excursion away from my computer screen, my choices are extremely limited (Macy's, PacSun, the Buckle, Old Navy, JcPenney's and Target...seriously). You would think with so few choices not every shopping outing would be successful, but I somehow always manage to find something great at Target. I am a target-aholic. My sister's and I visited 2 times this weekend and among my few great finds was this fabulous knit dress. This is one of those dresses that is adorable, comfortable and perfect for a day at the beach or dinner with friends.

Purse: Nine West (thinking my next purchase may need to be THIS studded beauty)

Today, I was totally mouse inspired. Why? Whenever I think of red and polka dots together, I automatically think of Minnie Mouse. I even added this gold double bow ring for a final touch of adorable perfection. Thanks Min:] Now if only I owned a pair of banana yellow heels.....
